As the farewell match came to an end with the fans' reluctance to watch, Redondo and Effenberg officially ended their brilliant player career from today, took off the purple robe they loved extremely, and turned into a member of the Purple Lily management. (Note: Redondo, who is organizing matters related to retired Star United, works in the Athletics Department of Fiorentina. Although Effenberg works in the same department as Redondo, his main task is to serve as a player inspection in Fiorentina in the Pan-Germany region. Playing games on behalf of retired Star United can only be regarded as a adjustment to life after retirement.)
However, Fiorentina obviously has no extra time to express the retirement of Redondo and Effenberg, because in three days they will play a Super Cup match against last season's Italian Cup winner AC Milan.
On August 7, at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the capital of Italy, players from Florence and AC Milan walked out of the player channel on time and stepped onto the lawn under the gaze of nearly 100,000 fans on the scene.
By the way, the Italian Football Association originally planned to set the location of this Super Cup in Tokyo, Japan, but since Fiorentina was going to prepare for a farewell match for Redondo and Effenberg, and the dates of the two games were too close, the Football Association finally had to regret to give up this idea and set the location of the final in Italy.
Although many people in Fiorentina participated in the farewell match for Redondo and Effenberg three days ago, because the intensity of that game was not very large, it did not have too many negative impacts on the players' physical fitness, allowing Heinquez to have enough resources to arrange troops.
Buffon, Robert Carlos, Lucio, Nesta, Zambrota, Marklele, Pirlo, Barack, Vincent, Gulli, Diego Milito, this is the eleven starting players of Fiorentina's Italian Super Cup final.
The reason why Heinques did not put Vieri, the Fiorentine forward ace, into the starting lineup was because the German realized through Vieri's series of performances in the team's pre-season warm-up match and summer training that as he grew older, Vieri, who was in his thirties, had a certain decline in recovery ability and physical fitness. Although the decline was not obvious, the coaching staff of Fiorentine still realized these changes in Vieri.
So, after some discussion and soliciting opinions from the medical experts at the physiotherapy center and Vieri himself, Heinx decided to limit Vieri's playing time starting this season, in this way, to protect the powerful center's career and extend his career life.
At the same time, Heinquez also changed Vieri's training program and game tasks, reducing the part of using him as the team's offensive finisher, intending to make him the tactical fulcrum for Fiorentina in the frontcourt, so that Vincent, who is younger, more physical and resilient, and others will undertake more scoring tasks.
Now let’s take a look at the starting lineup of AC Milan. As a tactical master, Ancelotti has been lacking creativity and change in the arrangement of troops as always, and still has the 442 formation that Berlusconi strongly demanded.
Among the new players introduced by AC Milan in the summer, only two Brazilians, Kafu and Kaka, appeared on the starting lineup of this game, because of the original transfer of the main right-back Helvig and Rui Costa suffered a minor injury in the pre-season training camp. If these accidents had not occurred, Fatty An would never make any adjustments to this starting lineup that had already formed combat effectiveness.
After the game started, AC Milan players who had the kick-off scored steadily advanced to Fiorentina's halftime under the organization of Sidorf and Baronho. After all, Sidorf and others knew very well about Fiorentina's powerful interception ability and sharp and fast counterattack after successful steals. If they even launched an attack at the beginning without being careful, then what awaited them would definitely be the terrifying wave of counterattacks in Fiorentina.
The Fiorentine players skillfully built fortifications in the midfield, waiting patiently for AC Milan players to pass the ball. After a season of running-in, these players have formed a good understanding. Lucio, Barack and Milito, who only joined Fiorentine last season, have been fully integrated into the tactical system of Purple Lily, and Nesta and others have become accustomed to the technical characteristics and playing style of these teammates, and know how to cooperate with them under various circumstances.
Therefore, Fiorentine players have no fear or tension in their hearts about AC Milan. On the contrary, the gale like Lucio even took the initiative to tease his Brazilian fellow and national teammate Kaka: "Hey, Ricardo (Ka's name), this is not Sao Paulo, the defensive intensity is several levels higher than that of the Brazilian domestic league. Today I will let you see it. I wonder if you are ready?"
"Hey, what do you want to do?" Kaka looked at Lucio nervously with a vigilant expression. Before coming to Italy, he had specifically asked Ronaldo and Emerson, who had played in Serie A, and had a very clear understanding of the defensive intensity of this league. "I tell you, there are many cameras here, and you will be photographed clearly by these lenses..."
As a result, Kaka, who was scared by Lucio, did not miss the ball from Seedorf. Lucio, who was guarding aside, intercepted successfully and launched a counterattack. Sidorf was so angry that he nagged Kaka on the court, thinking that he would concentrate on playing the game and not be disturbed by the opponent's words...
As a good boy, Kaka naturally bowed his head to accept the criticism from his predecessors, while Lucio snickered while on the side, and his plan succeeded again.
Since two new players were added to AC Milan, there would be some unsmooth operation when executing tactics, while Fiorentina did not have this problem, which made the rhythm of the game firmly grasped by Pirlo and Barack. The Red and Black Legion, which had lost the initiative, could only passively resist the attack of Purple Lily.
In the end, when referee Rossetti blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score on the big screen of the stadium was frozen to one-to-zero. Fiorentina defeated his old rival AC Milan with one goal in the final of the Italian Super Cup and won the first championship trophy of the new season, which was considered a good start for the 2003-04 season, which has not yet officially opened.
